Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method to adapt the routing of a customer's communications within an IMS type network.
  • the invention also relates to an IMS type network.
  • IMS Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem
  • An IMS network uses a protocol called IP (Internet Protocol) enabling it, in particular, to transmit data in the form of packets, each packet comprising a header indicating an IP address of the addressee of the packets, so that the packets can follow different paths to arrive at their destination.
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • the IP protocol enables the IMS network to receive or transmit data from different networks associated to the said IMS network and encoded under different protocols, each being specific to each such network.
  • a customer has several identities corresponding to profiles stored in a data storage device of HSS (Home Subscriber Server) type, where such profiles contain the routing rules for the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) messages.
  • HSS Home Subscriber Server
  • SIP Session Initiation Protocol
  • an identified customer may occasionally want to activate additional routing rules and deactivate them as needed.
  • the customer's employer can provide him/her with a connection to the employer's PABX (Private Automatic Branch eXchange) network to enable him/her to use professional talk services with his/her personal IMS subscription.
  • PABX Primary Automatic Branch eXchange
  • the customer can decide to receive all his/her calls via the PABX when at work (whether or not on site) or may prefer to deactivate this function when at home.
  • Another example is the customer's option to implement advanced call transfer rules.
  • the customer can activate rules to redirect all his/her incoming professional calls to a voicemail box and to receive all other calls.
  • the identified customer is obligated to connect to the IMS network under a different identity, as the said identity would have the desired routing rules.
  • the customer may have a personal and a professional public identity, where the latter would have professional routing rules.
  • the customer must therefore connect to the system with one or the other identity to be able to use the routing rules associated therewith.
  • the goal of the invention is to palliate the problems of the prior art by proposing a method for the dynamic adaptation of the routing of a customer's communications in an IMS type network, where the said method does not require any change of identity on the part of the customer.
  • the invention proposes a method for the adaptation of the routing of a customer's communications within an IMS type network, the said method providing for the customer's ability to transmit additional routing rules, and wherein the said additional routing rules are concatenated with the routing rules defined by the IMS network operator, such concatenated routing rules being subsequently available for use by the IMS network to adapt the routing of the customer's communications as a function of his/her needs.
  • the invention proposes an IMS type network comprising an S-CSCF function which, when a customer connects to the said network, communicates with an HSS data storage equipment to pick up the routing rules defined by the operator for the said customer, such network also comprising means enabling the customer to transmit additional routing rules, the said S-CSCF function comprising means equipped to concatenate the said additional routing rules with the routing rules defined by the operator; the network further comprising means enabling the customer to activate, deactivate, and/or modify at least one additional routing rule.
  • the invention concerns a method for the adaptation of the routing of a customer's communications within an IMS type network and enabling the customer C dynamically to adapt his/her routing rules.
  • the method enables the customer to adapt the routing rules for his/her communications without needing to change his/her public identity within the IMS network.
  • IFC Initial Filter Criteria
  • IFC criteria are the implementation of the routing rules according to the specifications of the 3GPP standard.
  • IFC criteria are established by the operator of the IMS network so as to define routing rules 1 for the Customer C, such rules being collected by the IMS when the Customer C registers.
  • the method according to the invention provides for enabling the Customer C to transmit additional routing rules 2.
  • additional routing rules 2 may be transmitted by the Customer C when he/she registers with the IMS network, more particularly by being inserted in the Customer C's registration SIP message.
  • the additional routing rules 2 can be transmitted in the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format standardized according to the IFC criteria.
  • the method provides for concatenation of the additional routing rules 2 with the routing rules 1 defined by the IMS network operator so as to be able to process the said routing rules together within the said network.
  • routing rules 1 generated by the IFC criteria are collected by the S-CSCF (Serving-Call Session Control Function) function of the IMS network, and the concatenation of the routing rules 1, 2 can be performed as part of this function.
  • S-CSCF Server-Call Session Control Function
  • the concatenated routing rules 3 thus obtained can subsequently be used by the IMS network to route the customer's communications as a function of his/her needs.
  • use of the said rules 3 comprises activation of at least one additional routing rule 2, the deactivation of at least one additional routing rule 2 and/or modification of at least one additional routing rule 2.
  • the invention also pertains to an IMS type network as schematically represented in the FIGURE, and comprising a S-CSCF function.
  • a S-CSCF function When a Customer C connects to the said network, the said function communicates with an HSS (Home Subscriber Server) data storage device to collect the routing rules 1 defined by the operator for the said customer.
  • HSS Home Subscriber Server
  • the network also comprises means enabling the customer to transmit additional routing rules 2, the S-CSCF function comprising means equipped to concatenate the said additional routing rules 2 with the routing rules 1 defined by the operator.
  • the IMS network further comprises means enabling the Customer C to activate, deactivate and/or modify at least one additional rule 2 as a function of his/her needs.
  • the solution proposed by the invention has the advantage of being dynamic and of enabling the Customer C to adapt his/her IMS profile with a single identity. Naturally, this adaptation is carried out in compliance with the routing rules 1 defined by the operator, in particular by providing that the latter will have a higher priority than that of the additional routing rules 2.
  • the Customer C can subscribe to services and access them by means of his/her IMS subscription without being obligated to resort to his/her operator to have it modify its connection profile.
